Former U.S. president Jimmy Carter is meeting with Meretz-Yahad Chairman Yossi Beilin, at Beilin's home.

 

During the meeting, Carter said that when Arafat was elected in 1996, the former U.S. president asked him to open a dialogue with the Hamas in order to gain recognition of the PA. A meeting with the Hamas was scheduled, but Hamas leaders cancelled at the last moment.

 

Carter said he hoped that Hamas would 'act responsibly' after the PA elections and work towards a diplomatic solution. (Roee Nahmias)
